Big Trees and Nice Scenery

[slowp]

Some pictures of a few of the big trees with nails in them, that I referred to in the Not So Pro thread.
Here's the first camp, which I moved to a place where I wasn't going to be impaled by a stob if the hammock failed.
That's kind of important. Note the size of the deadfall.

The Used Dog keeping his cool. We got so hot hiking in that we just chilled the rest of the day. Both of us went in the lake, which is the temperature that you'd expect from the ongoing melting of the snow.

The view.

Not the biggest tree, but the one with the biggest spike in it. The Used Dog was supposed to sit by it for scale purposes.


The second camp. Only stobs to trip over here.


I suspect this is the stob maker. I left it where it was.


The island.

The biggest tree, but don't you know it, there was brush all around it to prevent a good picture. It's in the center.


Now, don't move here. Remember, it is all the rain during the other 11 months that makes for the big trees.

I've been wondering for awhile, and your post reminded me: is the word "stob" indigenous to forestry/logging folks, or does anybody else use it? I've dropped it in conversation to blank stares before, and really wonder how common it is outside of the woods.

They can really look blank when you talk about getting your leg stobbed--Example: Cussing is permissable when you have stobbed your shin.

Don't move here.

My Grandmother was from Georgia and she would use it when I was younger.
As things around here shifted from rural to urban and she aged and spent less time in the wooded areas nearby, it seemed to fade from her vernacular.

Darn. I'll have to let some of the drizzle and clouds stay in my next photo shop session. You guys are good.
